The administrator can connect to the server from Windows PCs and from Linux/Unix workstations using SSC, which provides a secure connection using a modified version of the Arcfour cipher for encryption and SHA-1 for authentication.
Note: The NAS module and NAS Platform Series 5000
uses SHA-2 for authentication.
Use the SSC scripting utility to access the server CLI. The server supports SSC access to its CLI through any administrative IP address. By default, the private management network has an administrative IP address available.
The syntax for SSC: ssc -u user_name -p password host[:port][command]
The following table defines the variables:
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| user_name | User account (typically “supervisor”). |
| password | Password. If none specified, SSC prompts for one. |
| timeout | A timeout (in seconds) for a single-use command. |
| EVS | Specifies a particular EVS (by its numerical EVS ID) as the target for a single-use command. |
| host | The server’s administration IP address or host name. |
| port | If the SSC port number has been changed from its default of 206, the port number configured for SSC must be specified in the command syntax. |
| command | Command to execute. If no command is specified, SSC allows interactive command entry. |
